An INSULT TO THE PRESIDENT.

According to a telegram from Wheel
ing, W. Va, the members Of the Grand
Army who participated in a demonstra-
ton at that place yesterday, refused to
pass under the portrait Of President
Cleveland, which was suspended in front
of a newspaper office. To avoid doing
so they made a detour and dropped their
colors.
This proceeding may have given the
gentlemen who participated a good deal
of satisfaction. but we are inclined to
doubt if it will do President Cleveland
any harm. 1t is the battle flag bugaboo
broken out in a fresh place, and as usual
the attack Is virulent. Back of 1t all is
the fine Italian hand of the willy politi-
clan making capital for the next presiden-
tial campaign.
Unfortunately this mine has already
been worked out. The ball was started roll
ing by Lucian Fairchild when he gave
utterance to his g~arrulous and vehement
idiocy about palsy. Then followed the st.
LOUIS cplsOuS, WHICH, gave bhS pialhh'
Iowa patriot Tuttle a chance to air his
assininity and some of his former ac-
quaintances an opportunity to revive a
war record that was peculiarly odorous.
We are not inclined to take much stock
in patriotism when it is adopted as 8
means of livelihood. For those who
fought to save the union in its hour Of
peril every right-minded citizen has the
sincerest respect, but for the army camp
followers, who now brazenly push them.
selves to the front and howl for public ad,
miration because of a patriotism which
they never possessed, the contempt should
be profound and monumental.
In this latter class we venture to assert,
many of the alleged Ohio, Pennsylvania
and West Virginia veterans belong, fol
no true soldier would have offered a pub
lie insult to the president of the United
States. There is nothing in his record as
president of which Grover Cleveland need
feel ashamed. His conduct has been
straightforward, manly and upright. The
battle flag episode is being skillfully
manipulated to produce an exaggerated
state of patriotism that borders on disease,
1t is not healthy patriotism nor is it il
anywise commendable to the sober goot
sense OF he people Of this country.
The Wheeling episode is another evi'
dence that hot headed and i'll considered
counsel again prevails.

capitalists with $50 600 which amount they pro-
pose to lend out AMI invest in land in NCr,h Caro-
lima. The purpose is to secure as much land as pos
sible and if all the money is not used in that way it
will be loaned out and anybody can get as much
money he wants if he will invest it in land and
simply promise to pay eight per cent interest on the
loan The capitalists will take all risks of not being
paid back. As agent of the company. he is going
ahead, looking for land and receiving applications
for loans. lie charges $40 for every accepted APP

money. Every colored man and few whites are
anxious to get on the application list" and are

Several negroes already bargaining for land TO
be paid for with the prospective loan money and
some whites are doing likewise
The more intelligent white people regard the
whole affair as a fabrication on the part of the
